Half Moon snorkeling - fun and relax for you and your family
The best snorkeling in Jamaica is offered in Montego Bay. Doctor's Cave Beach features one of the most accessible spots. Get fitted with snorkeling gear by local tour guides and head out, independently or with a guide, to explore the crystal clear waters where warm mineral spring water meets the ocean. For the more daring, head across the channel to explore the Coyoba, Seaworld and Royal Reefs. Each of these reefs are full of wildlife, including barjacks, blue and brown chromis, yellow-headed wrasses, and spotlight parrotfish. Here, be sure to hire a guide as the water is farther from shore and a bit rougher. Both snorkelers and divers need to keep a few things in mind while they're visiting the creatures under the ocean waves: Be aware of currents and stay watchful of your location. You don't want to get too far away to return easily. Wear a watch so you don't lose track of time. It's easy to do underwater. Don't feed the fish or touch the animals or coral. Their protective layers can be stripped away. Never stand or walk on a reef and tread carefully on shallow water around reefs. (Shuffle your feet to avoid stingrays, and watch out for sea urchins, spines.) Never wear jewelry. Caribbean fish, barracudas especially, seem drawn to shiny objects that look like their natural prey, small silver fish. Avoid jellyfish, fire coral and other stinging creatures. Never reach into holes or crevices, they might be an animal's home, especially moray eels. Shark sightings are rare, and those that are spotted are usually passive. Keep calm, and if necessary, move slowly out of the water. Never remove anything from diving sites and reefs; it is illegal to do so. Jamaica has plenty of beautiful sights for both snorkeling and diving, but it is always best to keep safety in mind when planning the underwater aspect of your vacation.
